論離婚

10 後來,耶穌從那裡起身,來到猶太地區和約旦河對岸。人群又聚集到他那裡,他又照常教導他們。 有些法利賽人前來試探耶穌,問他:「人是否可以休妻呢?」 耶穌回答他們,說:摩西是怎麼吩咐你們的?」

他們說:「摩西准許人寫一份休書就可以休妻。」

耶穌對他們說:摩西因著你們的心裡剛硬,才給你們定下這條誡命。 從創世之初,『神[a]把人[b]造成男的和女的』[c]

『為這緣故,
人將離開他的父母,
與妻子結合[d]
兩個人就成為一體。』[e]

這樣,夫妻不再是兩個人,而是一體了。 因此,神所配合的,人不可分開。」

10 進了屋子,門徒們又向耶穌問起這件事。 11 耶穌就說:「如果有人休妻,另娶別人,就是犯通姦罪觸犯妻子。 12 女人如果離棄丈夫,另嫁別人,也是犯通姦罪。」

祝福小孩子

13 有些人把小孩子帶到耶穌那裡,好讓耶穌摸他們一下。門徒們卻責備那些人[f] 14 耶穌看見了就很不滿,對門徒們說:「讓小孩子到我這裡來,不要阻止他們,因為神的國正屬於這樣的人。 15 我確實地告訴你們:無論誰不像小孩子一樣接受神的國,就絕不能進去。」 16 於是,他把孩子們摟在懷中,按手在他們身上,祝福了他們。

富有的青年官員

17 耶穌剛出門上路,有一個人跑過去向他跪下,問他:「良善的老師,我該做什麼才能繼承永恆的生命呢?」

18 耶穌對他說:「你為什麼稱我是良善的呢?除了神一位之外,沒有一個是良善的。 19 你是知道這些誡命的:

『不可殺人、
不可通姦、
不可偷竊、
不可做偽證、
不可虧負人、
要孝敬父母。』[g]

20 那個人對耶穌說:「老師,這一切我從年少就遵守了。」

21 耶穌注視著他,就愛他,對他說:「你還缺少一件:去賣掉你所擁有的,分給窮人,這樣你將有財寶在天上;然後你[h]來跟從我。」 22 那個人因這話,臉色就變得陰沉,憂憂愁愁地走開了,因為他有很多財產。

財富與天國

23 耶穌環視周圍,對他的門徒們說:「有錢財的人進入神的國,是多麼困難!」 24 門徒們因這些話,就驚訝不已。耶穌又對他們說:「孩子們,[i]進入神的國是多麼困難! 25 駱駝穿過針眼,比富有的人進入神的國更容易呢!」

26 門徒們越發驚訝,彼此說:「那麼,誰能得救呢?」

27 耶穌注視著他們,說:「在人不可能,但在神卻不然;因為在神,凡事都可能。」

28 彼得就對耶穌說:「看,我們捨棄一切跟從了你!」

29 耶穌說:「我確實地告訴你們:無論誰為我的緣故、為福音的緣故而捨棄房屋,或兄弟,或姐妹,或母親,或父親,[j]或兒女,或田產, 30 都必定在今世得到百倍,就是房屋、兄弟、姐妹、母親、兒女和田產,也會有逼迫;但在來世得到永恆的生命。 31 不過許多在前的,將要在後;許多在後的,將要在前。」

第三次預言受難

32 在上耶路撒冷的路途中,耶穌一直走在前頭,門徒們驚訝不已,跟著的人也懼怕了。耶穌又把十二使徒[k]帶到一邊,開始告訴他們將要發生在他身上的事, 33 說:「看,我們現在上耶路撒冷去,人子將被出賣給祭司長們和經文士們。他們要定他死罪,並且要把他交給外邦人。 34 他們要戲弄他、向他吐唾沫、鞭打他,並殺害他;然後在第三天[l],他要復活。」

受苦與服事

35 這時候,西庇太的兒子雅各約翰來到耶穌面前,說:「老師,如果我們向你求什麼,希望你為我們成全。」

36 耶穌問他們:「要我為你們做什麼呢?」

37 他們說:「請准許我們在你的榮耀裡,一個坐在你的右邊,一個坐在你的[m]左邊。」

38 耶穌就說:「你們不知道自己在求什麼。我所喝的杯,你們能喝嗎?我所受的洗禮,你們能受嗎?」

39 他們回答說:「我們能。」

耶穌就說:「我所喝的杯你們將要喝,我所受的洗禮你們將要受。 40 但是坐在我的右邊或左邊,不是我所賜的,而是已經預備給誰,就賜給誰。」 41 其他十個使徒聽了,就開始對雅各約翰很不滿。

42 於是耶穌把他們召來,對他們說:「你們知道,外邦人有所謂為首的壓制他們,也有為大的管轄他們。 43 但你們當中卻不是這樣;相反,無論誰想在你們當中為大,誰就該做你們的僕人; 44 無論誰想在你們當中為首,誰就該做大家的奴僕。 45 要知道,就是人子來,也不是為了受人的服事,而是為了服事人,並且獻上自己的生命,替許多人做救贖的代價。」

治癒耶利哥的盲人

46 他們來到了耶利哥。當耶穌與他的門徒們和一大群人要離開那裡的時候,有一個瞎眼的乞丐坐在路邊,他是提邁的兒子巴提邁 47 他一聽說是拿撒勒人耶穌,就開始呼叫說:「大衛的後裔[n]——耶穌,可憐我吧!」 48 許多人責備他,叫他不要做聲。可是他更加大聲呼叫:「大衛的後裔[o],可憐我吧!」

49 耶穌就停住,說:「叫他過來吧。」

他們就叫那瞎眼的說:「鼓起勇氣吧!起來,他叫你呢。」 50 他就丟下外衣跳起來,來到耶穌面前。

51 耶穌問他說:「你要我為你做什麼呢?」

那瞎眼的說:「拉波尼[p],我要重見光明!」

52 耶穌對他說:「你去吧!你的信救了你。」他立刻重見光明,於是一路跟隨了耶穌。

 神配合的人不可分開(A)

10 耶穌從那裡動身,來到約旦河東的猶太境內。許多人又聚集到他那裡,他像平常一樣教導他們。 有法利賽人前來試探耶穌,問他:“丈夫可以休妻嗎?” 耶穌回答:“摩西吩咐你們的是甚麼呢?” 他們說:“摩西准許‘人寫了休書就可以休妻’。” 耶穌說:“因為你們的心硬,摩西才寫這條例給你們。 但從起初創造的時候, 神是‘造男造女’。 ‘因此人要離開父母,與妻子連合, 二人成為一體了。’這樣,他們不再是兩個人,而是一體的了。 所以 神所配合的,人不可分開。” 10 回到屋子裡,門徒再提起這件事來問他。 11 他對他們說:“誰休妻另娶,誰就是犯姦淫,得罪了妻子。 12 如果妻子棄夫另嫁,也是犯了姦淫。”

為小孩子按手祝福(B)

13 有人帶著小孩子到耶穌跟前,要他觸摸他們;門徒卻責備那些人。 14 耶穌看見了就生氣,對門徒說:“讓小孩子到我這裡來,不要禁止他們,因為 神的國是屬於這樣的人的。 15 我實在告訴你們,凡是不像小孩子一樣接受 神的國的,絕對不能進去。” 16 於是耶穌把小孩子抱起來,為他們按手祝福。

有錢的人難進 神的國(C)

17 耶穌又開始他的行程。那時,有一個人跑過來,跪在他面前,問他說:“良善的老師,我當作甚麼,才可以承受永生?” 18 耶穌對他說:“你為甚麼稱我是良善的?除了 神一位以外,沒有良善的。 19 誡命你是知道的:不可殺人,不可姦淫,不可偷盜,不可作假證供,不可欺詐,當孝敬父母。” 20 他對耶穌說:“老師,這一切我從小都遵守了。” 21 耶穌看著他,就愛他,對他說:“你還缺少一件:去變賣你所有的,分給窮人,就必定有財寶在天上,而且你要來跟從我。” 22 那人聽見這話,就變了臉色,憂憂愁愁地走了,因為他的財產很多。

23 耶穌周圍觀看,對門徒說:“富有的人要進 神的國,是多麼難哪!” 24 門徒都希奇他的話,耶穌又對他們說:“孩子們哪,(有些抄本在此有“倚靠錢財的人”一句)要進 神的國,是多麼困難! 25 駱駝穿過針眼,比有錢的人進 神的國還容易呢!” 26 門徒就更加驚奇,彼此說:“這樣,誰可以得救呢?” 27 耶穌看著他們,說:“在人不能,在 神卻不然,因為在 神凡事都能。” 28 彼得對他說:“你看,我們已經捨棄了一切,而且來跟從你了。” 29 耶穌說:“我實在告訴你們,人為著我和福音捨棄了房屋、弟兄、姊妹、母親、父親、兒女、田地, 30 沒有不在今生得百倍─就是房屋、弟兄、姊妹、母親、兒女、田地,同時要受迫害─在來世還要得永生。 31 然而許多在前的將要在後,在後的將要在前。”

第三次預言受難及復活(D)

32 在上耶路撒冷的路途中,耶穌走在前面,門徒希奇,跟從的人也害怕。耶穌又把十二門徒帶到一邊,把自己將要遭遇的事告訴他們, 33 說:“我們現在上耶路撒冷去,人子要被交給祭司長和經學家,他們要定他的罪,並且把他交給外族人。 34 他們要凌辱他,向他吐唾沫,鞭打他,殺害他,三天以後,他要復活。”

不是要人服事而是要服事人(E)

35 西庇太的兒子雅各、約翰,來到耶穌跟前,對他說:“老師,我們無論向你求甚麼,願你為我們作成。” 36 耶穌說:“要我為你們作甚麼?” 37 他們說:“在你的榮耀裡,讓我們一個坐在你的右邊,一個坐在你的左邊。” 38 耶穌說:“你們不知道你們求的是甚麼。我喝的杯,你們能喝嗎?我受的洗,你們能受嗎?” 39 他們說:“能。”耶穌說:“我喝的杯,你們固然要喝;我受的洗,你們也要受。 40 只是坐在我的左右,不是我可以賜的,而是 神預備賜給誰,就賜給誰。” 41 其他十個門徒聽見了,就向雅各、約翰生氣。 42 耶穌把他們叫過來,對他們說:“你們知道各國都有被尊為元首的統治他們,也有官長管轄他們。 43 但你們中間卻不要這樣;誰想在你們中間為大的,就要作你們的僕役, 44 誰想在你們中間為首的,就要作大家的奴僕。 45 因為人子來,不是要受人服事,而是要服事人,並且要捨命,作許多人的贖價。”

治好瞎眼的巴底買(F)

46 他們進了耶利哥。耶穌、門徒和一大群人從耶利哥出來的時候,有一個瞎眼的人,是底買的兒子,名叫巴底買,坐在路旁討飯。 47 他聽見是拿撒勒人耶穌,就喊叫,說:“大衛的子孫耶穌啊,可憐我吧!” 48 許多人斥責他,叫他不要出聲;他卻更加放聲喊叫:“大衛的子孫啊,可憐我吧!” 49 耶穌就站住,說:“把他叫過來。”他們就叫那瞎眼的人,對他說:“放心吧,起來,他叫你了。” 50 他就丟下衣服,跳起來,走到耶穌那裡。 51 耶穌對他說:“你要我為你作甚麼呢?”瞎眼的人對他說:“拉波尼,我要能看見。” 52 耶穌說:“去吧,你的信使你痊愈了。”他立刻看見了,就在路上跟隨耶穌。

Divorce(A)

10 Jesus then left that place and went into the region of Judea and across the Jordan.(B) Again crowds of people came to him, and as was his custom, he taught them.(C)

Some Pharisees(D) came and tested him by asking, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?”

“What did Moses command you?” he replied.

They said, “Moses permitted a man to write a certificate of divorce and send her away.”(E)

“It was because your hearts were hard(F) that Moses wrote you this law,” Jesus replied. “But at the beginning of creation God ‘made them male and female.’[a](G) ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife,[b] and the two will become one flesh.’[c](H) So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”

10 When they were in the house again, the disciples asked Jesus about this. 11 He answered, “Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her.(I) 12 And if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery.”(J)

The Little Children and Jesus(K)

13 People were bringing little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them, but the disciples rebuked them. 14 When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.(L) 15 Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”(M) 16 And he took the children in his arms,(N) placed his hands on them and blessed them.

The Rich and the Kingdom of God(O)

17 As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees(P) before him. “Good teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”(Q)

18 “Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone. 19 You know the commandments: ‘You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, you shall not defraud, honor your father and mother.’[d](R)

20 “Teacher,” he declared, “all these I have kept since I was a boy.”

21 Jesus looked at him and loved him. “One thing you lack,” he said. “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor,(S) and you will have treasure in heaven.(T) Then come, follow me.”(U)

22 At this the man’s face fell. He went away sad, because he had great wealth.

23 Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it is for the rich(V) to enter the kingdom of God!”

24 The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said again, “Children, how hard it is[e] to enter the kingdom of God!(W) 25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”(X)

26 The disciples were even more amazed, and said to each other, “Who then can be saved?”

27 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.”(Y)

28 Then Peter spoke up, “We have left everything to follow you!”(Z)

29 “Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel 30 will fail to receive a hundred times as much(AA) in this present age: homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields—along with persecutions—and in the age to come(AB) eternal life.(AC) 31 But many who are first will be last, and the last first.”(AD)

Jesus Predicts His Death a Third Time(AE)

32 They were on their way up to Jerusalem, with Jesus leading the way, and the disciples were astonished, while those who followed were afraid. Again he took the Twelve(AF) aside and told them what was going to happen to him. 33 “We are going up to Jerusalem,”(AG) he said, “and the Son of Man(AH) will be delivered over to the chief priests and the teachers of the law.(AI) They will condemn him to death and will hand him over to the Gentiles, 34 who will mock him and spit on him, flog him(AJ) and kill him.(AK) Three days later(AL) he will rise.”(AM)

The Request of James and John(AN)

35 Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to him. “Teacher,” they said, “we want you to do for us whatever we ask.”

36 “What do you want me to do for you?” he asked.

37 They replied, “Let one of us sit at your right and the other at your left in your glory.”(AO)

38 “You don’t know what you are asking,”(AP) Jesus said. “Can you drink the cup(AQ) I drink or be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with?”(AR)

39 “We can,” they answered.

Jesus said to them, “You will drink the cup I drink and be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with,(AS) 40 but to sit at my right or left is not for me to grant. These places belong to those for whom they have been prepared.”

41 When the ten heard about this, they became indignant with James and John. 42 Jesus called them together and said, “You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. 43 Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,(AT) 44 and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. 45 For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve,(AU) and to give his life as a ransom for many.”(AV)

Blind Bartimaeus Receives His Sight(AW)

46 Then they came to Jericho. As Jesus and his disciples, together with a large crowd, were leaving the city, a blind man, Bartimaeus (which means “son of Timaeus”), was sitting by the roadside begging. 47 When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth,(AX) he began to shout, “Jesus, Son of David,(AY) have mercy on me!”

48 Many rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”

49 Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.”

So they called to the blind man, “Cheer up! On your feet! He’s calling you.” 50 Throwing his cloak aside, he jumped to his feet and came to Jesus.

51 “What do you want me to do for you?” Jesus asked him.

The blind man said, “Rabbi,(AZ) I want to see.”

52 “Go,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you.”(BA) Immediately he received his sight and followed(BB) Jesus along the road.
